Fine tuning contractility: atrial sarcomere function in health and disease.
Review in American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms of sarcomere proteins underlie the contractile function of the heart. Although our understanding of the sarcomere has grown tremendously, the focus has been on ventricular sarcomere isoforms due to the critical role of the ventricle in health and disease. However, atrial-specific or -enriched myofilament protein isoforms, as well as isoforms that become expressed in disease, provide insight into ways this complex molecular machine is fine-tuned. Here, we explore how atrial-enriched sarcomere protein composition modulates contractile function to fulfill the physiological requirements of atrial function. We review how atrial dysfunction negatively affects the ventricle and the many cardiovascular diseases that have atrial dysfunction as a comorbidity. We also cover the pathophysiology of mutations in atrial-enriched contractile proteins and how they can cause primary atrial myopathies. Finally, we explore what is known about contractile function in various forms of atrial fibrillation. The differences in atrial function in health and disease underscore the importance of better studying atrial contractility, especially as therapeutics currently in development to modulate cardiac contractility may have different effects on atrial sarcomere function.
